County renews project-tracker software for DOT planning and transparency
Summary
The committee approved appropriation of $145,000 for the transportation division's project-tracker system, a planning tool that populates the county's five-year TIP and includes a public-facing module and mapping tools used by CMAP and state partners.
Lake County approved a one-year renewal and the appropriation of $145,000 in quarter-percent sales-tax funds for the Division of Transportation's project-tracker system, a planning and programming platform used to manage the county's five-year plan and share federally funded project information with CMAP and state reviewers.
County Engineer Shane Schneider said the system is widely used in the industry, provides a public-facing module that displays schedules and funding by source, and supports interagency data sharing with CMAP and the state. Committee members noted interoperability benefits and asked whether the tool could be combined with the DOT's payment-management software; staff said the products are currently separate and noted the county is evaluating marketplace options each year.
The committee approved the appropriation by voice vote.
